Skeptoid Podcast

The original award-winning production of Skeptoid Media, the Skeptoid podcast is produced by Brian Dunning.

It entertains and informs while instilling the priniciples of critical thinking and scientific skepticism. The show is live and has been in weekly production since October 2006, with
730 episodes and
104,000 weekly listeners. Support
